power cords and all external cables, if necessary (see “Turning off the
system-board tray” on page 11).

5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter that you are
installing to any unpainted metal surface on the chassis or rack; then, remove
the adapter from the static-protective package. Avoid touching the components
and gold-edge connectors on the adapter.
6. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set any jumpers or
switches.
7. If any cables must be connected to an adapter, connect them. Route these
cables through the hole at the side of the GPGPU enclosure.
8. Align the adapter with PCIe slot on the riser-card; then press the adapter down
and forward until the gold fingers stop at the slot on the riser card. Do not lift
the card during this step. Push the card gently into the slot.
